9 miles 1hr 10 mins 

10 mins xtrainer level 6 

10.5 miles 1hr 22mins 10 secs 7.45 pace, but honestly some miles were 8 min pace and some faster the last mile being 7.15 min mile.... ha ha got some odd looks at this pace which was great!

 The gym staff thought I was joking when I said I was running in the snow, and when I went to leave they said you really arent kidding are you, I laughed and said no its fun LOL. Theyre mouths really were wide open ha ha ha

When I re-learned my running technique 4 years ago, one of the big tests was running on ice, you pull your legs up more than push off, this causes fore foot landing, any way I did lots of drills and stuff, and since then Ive always been able to run over slippery surfaces straight on of course, I was nearly at a walk on corners or crossing the roads as they were slipperier (is that a word LOL) no its slipier !

snowy dune howard is my knew name LOL

2ft deep in the places were I ran, mostly 6-12" deep though.

 I ran my usual 9 mile route, but I was enjoying running in the snow so much I rang Paul and asked if he could pick dylan up as Im loving it, and I carried on for another 1.5 miles.

When I returned to the gym and got on the xtrainer for a mere 20 mins warm down I kept looking out and considered running again :-)

My hip 1-10 wasnt too bad about a 4, I stretched allot back at the gym. 

I went home and Dylan and Paul were having a snow fight so I joined in although I have saved some snow balls for Walter, Burt, Chris M, oh Allie and Nan ha ha ha......

Dylan and I built a snowman that was cool, then I decided to have a snow bath and just sat down in my lycra's and ice'd my butt :-)

Slippy bridges no problem for MOI ;-) 

I overslept this morning, after all the non sleep nights I have been getting last night I only woke up twice, which is very good for me recently, not sure why I havent been sleeping but I was glad for some sleep last night.

No more snow, but the snow that is still here which is about 2" deep now as most of its been trodden down and iced up over night, so its treacherous to say the least.

I opted to run from home today only due to Paul still isnt back at work its too dangerous to climb trees in this weather, so after work I had some lunch with him and then we walked the dogs 3 miles slowly, as it seems to be harder to walk than run on the paths very weird.

So I ran from home when Paul went to pick Dylan up from school, and now the school is closed for 2 days as they have run out of grit and due to health and safety they cant let the kids back at school, its madness this country I tell you just utter madness.

So off I went allot of smaller routes but just went were I felt like, I ran some icy roads then some pinewoods and then mostly icy roads, for 9 miles 

9 miles 1hr 14 mins, so I kept a decent pace most of the way some slower and some faster depending were I could get a good thing going.

No disasters lots of very odd looks off people which I thinks quite funny and I sang most of the way too, ra ra   ra ra la la ga ga ga ga and some other songs of course, dont stop me now, cos Im having ...........

and this one  "you got mud on ya face, big disgrace........"

Good cardio work singing and running at that pace, and its hard work on your core running on ice an snow, really good workout.   :-)

over and out from snowy ice howard

NONE ZILCH Gonna take it easy huff, urghhhhh not happy 

sore butt, did I tell you that, yeah I fell yesterday Im sure I told you all that too, huh! stupid dog *HDKJHKJ*

oh well, its my birthday today all the 3's hoping I will be better for my long run this Sunday

:-) 

Oh I couldnt resist update as of 3pm, I tried out the spikes idea Chris M gave it to me, and they just so happened to fall out the cupboard when I was looking for my swim suit to go swimming, I went on a run thought maybe half a mile out and back, 

10 Miles later 1hr 28 mins very slow miles, all off road but very icy sand dunes and paths very very icy, it was hard going, and my spikes I wore are really track spikes so hey ho I got a run in on my Birthday so thats why I couldnt resist. hoping its not made it all worse.  Going to bend Pauls arm for a massage. :-)
